Actually two companies make upgrade cards for the 6500. Sonnet and Vimage. Here's a link to the sonnet site: http://www.sonnettech.com/product/crescendo_pcig3-l2.html The upgrad…

I am running the VImage upgrade in my 6500. Haven't had any trouble with it, well worth the cost!! Believe the cost has come down quite a bit since I bought in Feb, also they hav…

Hello All! I'm on the verge of buying a Performa 6360, because I can get a really sweet deal on it. The one thing I'm worried about is that I went to Micro Conversions' web site,…

I'm not sure of this but it may be because your 6360 only supports 5 inch PCI Cards and the Voodoo2 is a 7 inch.

I own a Performa 6360 and was going to purchase a video card however I decided to sbegin saving up my money to by a new Power Mac. When I was looking I found that only the ATI RAG…

Has anyone heard if Apple will be shipping the new G3s with 250 MB zip drives anytime soon?

I have two "dead" hard drives that I think could be rescued. They do not mount but are recongnized as a drive on the SCSI chain. When I try to format them I get a "device not rea…

Is it possible your SCSI card is third party (in which case you wouldn't want to use Apple SCSI tools and need to download updated drivers and formatting tools from the manufacture…

I can't do anything to the drives without getting that error. When I try to updade the drivers, initialize or mount them I get a "device not ready error." I am still convinced th…

I was just noticing that people are overlooking a great resource for info on G3 overclocking: <A HREF="www.xlr8yourmac.com">www.xlr8yourmnac.com</A>. They have great st…

The prices are really coming down on the G3 PBs now that the new PB 101 will soon be here with Firewire & USB ports. Will new be fairly "bleeding edge", or should I buy instead…

pkalaska, I'm in exactly the same position as you. I'm going to wait until the 101's are launched just to see what they are like. Unless the are really great or very competitively…

There are three questions you should ask yourself: 1] Does it do what I need? 2] Can I afford it? 3] Will it provide some value before the product line changes again? I'm not buy…

I've been looking into purchasing some kind of big (capacity) removable media drive for backing up high-res scans, updaters, and so on. I had planned to go with a Jaz drive, but a…

Neither! Orb and Jaz are both based on Magnetic media. Both are subject to head crashes, and both have trouble with dust enterring the drive. If you need a format that reads …

Just a quick thank you for your input on this... it's strange how much more difficult the decision gets once it's your money and not your employer's. ;^) But to counter a couple o…

I understand that magnetic media drives like the Jazz and ORB are prone to head crashes and dust problems. However, I want to be able to store large media files (AvidCinema and ma…

We have had too many problems with ORB to recommend it. We too back up large M100 files and writing seemed to work but copying a file BACK from the ORB was a crap-shoot. We also …

I have had a Jaz drive for two years and only had one bad disk problem (Iomega replaced the disk free). I purchased an Orb SCSI drive thinking I could replace the Jaz. However, …

Lots of problems with the Orb, so don't go with it. Jaz drives are a tad bit more reliable, but still, disks can corrupt. CDRW media CAN be read on normal cd-roms as long as they …
